1. When REM installed after IRAI and TDW UI: hydro works on surface down to about 30meters. If I go deeper there is no sound on hydro but sonarmen still gives the positions of ships.

2. When REM is not installed: hydro works OK with mods: TDW UI, IRAI and TDW_No_Hydrophone_On_Surface_No_Aircraft_Spotting_ 1_1_0 (this last mod is not installed during the first test)

Okay, since TheBeast and Xrundel have not been very active in the last months, I could look into why this is happening, but I have a few questions:

• have you enabled TDW's compatibility patch after New UI's, IRAI and REM?
  
• by any chance have you upgraded your hydrophone to the KDB model?
  
• if the answer to my previous question is yes, was the standard hydrophone working correctly?

I didn't use the compatibility patch. I have installed NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith.
Do I have to instal this patch after new UI and before REM
or
after new UI and after REM ?

after New UI, IRAI, Fx Update and REM

please, test again with the patch enabled in the above order, and answer my other two questions

[whiskey111]

Q: have you enabled TDW's compatibility patch after New UI's, IRAI and REM?
A: Yes, I have just done it. The patch was installed last in order. Same effect, same bad issue.

Q: By any chance have you upgraded your hydrophone to the KDB model?
A: It is test single mission made by me. U-boot 7C: CfgDate=19430101
I don't know how to check the hydrophone model in single mission. Any tip ?

Q: if the answer to my previous question is yes, was the standard hydrophone working correctly?
A: the hydrophone without REM works fine. With REM, sonarman gives the contact on surface and diving below 30m I cannot hear anything in hydro (but sonarman AI gives the contacts).

Try changing mission date to Sept. '39 and setting U-boat equipment to 'Early' (or simply start a new campaign without selecting any upgrade. In this way we should be sure that your sub is equipped with the standard (GHG) hydrophone.

It is easy to recognize which hydrophone your sub is equipped with, since KDB sensors are T shaped spinning things, and they should protrude from your deck, whereas the GHG ones are inside the hull and cannot be seen in external view.

Please, do one last test following the above instructions, and let me know if the GHG is audible below 30 m with REM enabled

According to other memeber's reports, it should. If you will confirm this fact, I will check what's is the difference between the two hydrophones and (hopefully), I will be able to fix the mute KDB
